I might be doing more 12 step work today.....I have been asked to go along with a more experienced member again. Now we just have to see if the guy is on for it today or not.
I hope it happens, I enjoyed it last time.

Wow, what a great surprize!!!! I love you guys

Nel I see you hiding next to the banner, lol. Your words touched my heart, what a gift, thank you.

Stoney, thank you too. I think that's a good thing another 12th Step call. You are doing great Stoney.

My sweet, sweet Rusty, Thank you for being such a good friend.

Home Group meeting this morning, what a great way to start my day. Good coffee (thanks to me) Greeting peeps and then super meeting. YAY!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could, I'd have a marching band coming up your driveway right now, followed by a gorgeous hunk bearing a HUGE bouquet, followed by a slew of personal "head hunters" prepared to scout the world for the perfect job, followed by all of us and those who love you so much, but then you'd be late for your meeting and wouldn't have made the COFFEE.

So.....maybe next year???

In truth, all of what Nel said is so true. Your positive attitude, your fortitude when things get dicey, your spiritual connection and your support of others is an inspiration to me as well. What a doll you are and , again, I haven't given up on meeting you somewhere in time.

Have a fabulous day, my friend. You deserve it!

love,
elizabeth

That's because you both posted at the same time, she didn't see you.

You are so sweet Stoney, and "your" flower is beautiful. Did you take the pic?

Nel, I am so sorry, but I won't be able to make it....I forgot about MY step meeting this a.m. which I can't miss because my NEW sponsor is expecting me. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Besides, I can't talk about the soccer team alone without Bee and her "toys" and you and your "animals" (no sheep though) HeeHee...love you Nelsie!!!!!!

Really and truly, If I could, I would. Some day we WILL meet, I just know it.

Enough! I'm a good girl, I am!

I threw out my toys, remember? Not long afterward I was in the bughouse, remember?? LOL

I have a massive headache the tumour seems to be back. Ick ick ick. Maybe it was the sugar overdose late last night.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEE! I wish we lived closer so I could take you out to a movie and we could share popcorn then go out for awesome coffee sitting in leather recliners and talk and talk and talk! I hope you have a wonderful day - you deserve it!

I'm just having a bit of a lie-in. Going to meet my sponsor at the meeting this afternoon - she's going through a difficult time and needs lots of support right now.

I hope you get to go on that 12-Step call, Stone. I know how much you enjoyed the last one.

Hey Louis I know what you mean about waiting lists to see these special docs - and yeah, good thing you weren't desperate to see them 13 months ago!!

Hi to everybody!

Meeting was great, I kind of figured lizzy was not going to make it so I had one of my sponsees on stand by. she celebrated 6 months sober yesterday and did her first chair this morning. She shook for the first half, but she survived. she is a great strong member of the group and works hard at her program. Her chair was very raw and real, with great hope also. This lead to a meeting where 2 women and a man cried , and shared back about stuff that came up for them around their kids and not having them in their lives etc... WE talked of toxic relationships, letting go, co dependancy, people pleasing, looking for approval and secrets that families keep.....and drinking on each and every one of them.

Ro, yes I wish we did live closer, that would be really nice It is the thought that counts, so thank you.

Stoney, I just gave you a whole chocolate cake, what more do you want!!! Just think No extra calories!!!!

Nel, my meeting was really great too. Letting Go was what we talked about too.
Usually when they ask for greeters to raise their hands, of course, I raise mine, but today they asked for the greeters to STAND UP, UGH!!!!! I really didn't want to, but I had to. I don't like doing that!!! I told them afterwards, I will not greet anymore, lol.
